I just finished building a KAT100 and KPA100 in an EC2 for a friend. This
is perhaps the best way to go if you still enjoy taking your QRP K2 out into the field. Bill's K2 has the KAT1 and KIO2 in the basic radio. Now when it's on the home base, just 2 connections and it's running QRO with a QRO tuner. Nothing to mess with and what's really neat is that the K2 recognizes now that the KAT100 is hooked up and puts the KAT1 into a PassThru mode (basically the POUT mode). Wish I would have done this a couple years ago when I built mine. It has got to be the best thing since sliced bread. I took pictures thru the whole building process to document this build and it's nice to see it come together again and again on the computer. In the next couple days I'll post the pics to some webspace and put a link to the pics here. Gregg R.
